Storing and Clearing Readings

• 

To store readings, proceed as follows:

1. 

Press STORE once, STO and “no.xxxx” displays to confirm the operation and the 

left secondary display shows the current measurement reading. Press to toggle 

between clearing the stored readings and start from the first readings or start from 

the last stored reading. Right secondary display shows the original number of 

records.

2.  Press STORE a second time and STO displays. The left secondary display shows 

the storing time interval in seconds, it is preset to zero. 

3.  To change the interval in seconds by pr or - button. The interval can be as 

high as 255 seconds or as low as 0 second. 

4.  Press and hold STORE to access the quick setting.

5.  Press STORE the third time, STO and no displays. The left secondary display 

shows the index number increase by one. The right secondary display shows the 

value of the corresponding index number, the primary display shows the current 

measurement reading.

• 

If there is no interval time set to store the reading, each press of STORE 

increments the reading by one index number.

• 

The maximum number of stored reading is 100. When the stored readings memory 

is full, the meter will start to revert to the first stored reading and overwrite.

• 

To exit, press EXIT.

• 

Automatic power off feature is disabled while the meter is in this mode.

Recalling Stored Readings

• 

Use the following procedure to recall the stored reading:

• 

Press RECALL to recall the stored value and RCL displays to confirm the 

operation.

• 

The left secondary display shows the index number “no.xxxx”.

• 

The primary display shows the corresponding recalled data.

• 

The right secondary display shows the total number of the stored data.

• 

Press button to enable the SEND feature to export the data to the computer via 

USB. The software shows the data storing time and also the data value. After the 

data transferring is completed, the SEND feature will be disabled automatically.

• 

Press + or - button to view additional stored reading. 

• 

Press and hold RECALL to access quick recalling.

• 

Press EXIT to exit recalling.

Power measurement

• 

Set the rotary switch to W.

• 

Insert the power adaptor to the corresponding input terminals, and plug the power 

adaptor to the outlet.

• 

Insert the object to be measured into the outlet of the power adaptor.

• 

The measured value shows on the display.  The value includes: apparent power 

value, power value and power factor value.

• 

When power measurement has been completed, first switch off the power, then 

disconnect the connection between the adaptor and the outlet.

Note:

 The current of the object being measured must >10A. 

5A continuous 

measurement is allowed. When measuring 5A~10A, only 

10 seconds continuous 

measurement is allowed and the interval between each measurement must be greater 

than 15 minutes.
